After his affair…
It’s not easy to skip over betrayal and get back to normal again, but if you truly value your union and want to work things out after an affair, it’s something that you will be forced to do.
The big question is, how does a woman really forgive and mend the broken pieces after the betrayal of cheating?
The experts say:
Communicate
If you do not know the root of a problem, you will never be able to solve it and ensure it never happens again, so it is extremely important for couples to talk through relationship calamities.
Listen to the cues
It makes absolutely no sense starting a conversation if you have no desire to respect what is being said and to hear the other person out. Many people only hear, but never really listen to their partner’s side of things.
Date again
It is important once the dust settles to start anew. Start by going on dates again and forming a friendship.
And the women say:
Marie:
I don’t think I could overlook a cheating spree. I just couldn’t do it. I’ve seen my aunt forgive her husband for having several outside children and I am wondering if she’s crazy. I couldn’t do it.
Sherry:
I have, and when we went counselling I understood that I was partly to be blamed because I wasn’t fulfilling my roles as a wife. I could not just walk away and leave my marriage.
Kelly:
Once he cheats, it makes no sense for us to try again.
Roberta:
I forgave my ex twice, but that only made it worse so I had to end it. It really makes no sense trying to change a cheating man.
